LOOKADAMOON!

According to the moonologists
Last night was a mega-moon or a super-moon,
or whatever.  It was bloody big.
Came out of the sea at 6.30pm...
(that damn dog keeps getting in the way of my pics)

 took a long time hovering around
the horizon, got bigger, then went to China.

The Day of the Dragon…

flies.


Dawn on Yoron island 
and this unsuspecting foreigner  
and his unsuspecting dog 
are under close surveillance 
by a squadron of mini-drones, 
probably from the US airbase on nearby Okinawa. 
Recent breakthroughs in environmental macro-electronics 
allow the mini-drones (click to enlarge)
to be powered up to one hour on just ten mosquitoes.


Our beach, undoubtedly classified as a
 'logistically appropriate disembarkation location' 
(= a good spot to land) 
for a North Korean invasion 
(although the steps are rather steep)
is also kept under close observation by the mini-drones.

Morning chat.

Duke meets his only friend, Hokto, 
for a chat about once a week.

Old Gypsy

Old Gypsy, who has been overshadowed by Duke
in past blogs, will be 14 this year. 
Like Duke, a stray, she appeared in a storm toward 
the end of the last millennium - a wet, scraggy pup.
          Nowadays,  her favourite spot in the garden is this nest 
                  she has made for herself near the seaside patio.  
               When she eventually leaves us it will probably be 
                                 here she will be laid to rest.

Apologies

Careful analysis of the blog picture and interviews with the 
photographer have since determined that the person on the roof

(blog of June 14th) was in fact myself, 
and not someone who had fallen out of an airplane.
I apologize for any alarm and/or distress 
the previous misinformation
may have caused.

This man, found clinging to our roof
by his fingernails, seems to have fallen
out of an airplane passing over Yoron. 
Luckily he survived and only a few roof 
tiles were damaged.
Please take this as a warning 
to keep your seat belts fastened at all times.
